Brigat’ logs (l.) – Bachir logs (r.)
The Yule Log of yesteryear has changed a lot. It no longer systematically looks like a piece of wood cut in the forest. Because the creators of the Marais, like elves, have more than one trick up their sleeve. To the delight of our taste buds. The Marais Mood has selected ten to help you in the final stretch before the holidays.
Chocolate goldsmith, Pierre Marcolini guarantees a return to childhood with his stunning reinterpretation of the Oviedo log. Formally closer to the tube than to a log, the remarkable cake is made up of a hazelnut dacquoise (usually almond biscuit) with a vanilla crème brûlée, a crunch of caramelized hazelnuts and a sabayon of milk chocolate. Mmmm…
Price: €7,50 individual; €53 for 6 people.

We fell for the Fructus Alba log by David Wesmaël who was Meilleur Ouvrier de France (M.O.F.) – and it shows. This log is an iced Vacherin that combines Reunion vanilla ice cream with a fruity mango-passion fruit combo, all topped with French meringue and whipped cream. A tangy enchantment that accompanies digestion perfectly.

Architectural, the log of this Lebanese ice cream parlor celebrates Paris with magical creations. Exit the cylindrical shape, and make way for the dome of Montmartre and the dome of the Opera. The house, however, remains faithful to its oriental roots. Thus the immaculate dome of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart is recreated in achta. A recipe based on milk, with orange blossom and coated with pistachio. The whole thing is topped with a white chocolate arrow. Magic.
Price: €64 for 6 to 8 people.

With its trio of pear, chocolate and caramel, this snowy Christmas log produces an explosion of flavors. On its natural Genoa biscuit base flourishes a melting poached pear enhanced by intense chocolate. Then the praline with grilled corn chips and the crispy salty fried corn mixed with the creamy caramel also has its effect.

Brothers wedding
The two Mariage Frères logs (house founded in 1854) studded with snow dots pay homage to sensuality. Thus her “dots” recall the famous polka dot dress of Marilyn Monroe in Seven Years of Reflection or Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. The intense red log is made up of a grand cru chocolate biscuit flavored with spices. Its crunch is caramelized with fleur de sel, flavored with bourbon vanilla and candied mandarins. The intense black log surprises with its chestnut cream base shaken by the fruity and floral notes of the brand's iconic tea: Marco Polo.
Price: €65 for 6 people.

The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
